Research in the School

The School is engaged in high-quality research with significant national and international
impact while offering excellent opportunities for graduate studies. We have been
consistently attracting substantial research funding from the UK Research Councils,
European research programmes, industrial and commercial companies, government agencies
and others and our spread of expertise allows us to respond rapidly to new developments.

We have a thriving student population studying for postgraduate degrees in a notably
friendly and supportive learning environment within a successful research culture.
The skills, abilities and enthusiasm of our students are vital elements in our research
activities and we foster them as effectively as we can through the provision of
excellent research training during their graduate studies.
